Genetic Associations with an Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Reversal Phenotype

Genetic Association Study of ALS Reversal Phenotype Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the death of upper and lower motor neurons, progressive weakness, and eventual respiratory failure. However, individual ALS patients have exhibited unusual clinical reversal phenomena, where symptoms signific...

miR206 and 423-3p are Differently Modulated in Fast and Slow-Progressing Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients

Differential Regulation of miR206 and miR423-3p in Rapidly and Slowly Progressing Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients This article was published in the 2024 issue of “Neuromolecular Medicine,” titled “Differential Regulation of miR206 and 423-3p in Rapidly and Slowly Progressing Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Patients.” The authors include ...

Comprehensive Assessment of TDP-43 Neuropathology Data in the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center Database

Research Report Titled “Comprehensive Evaluation of TDP-43 Neuropathology Data in the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center Database” Research Background TDP-43 proteinopathy is a significant neuropathological feature in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-TDP), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS-TDP), and age-related limbic TDP-43 encephalo...

Abundant Transcriptomic Alterations in the Human Cerebellum of Patients with a C9orf72 Repeat Expansion

Research Background In the field of neuroscience, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) are two highly heterogeneous neurodegenerative diseases. Studies indicate that non-coding hexanucleotide repeat expansions in the c9orf72 gene are the most common genetic causes of these diseases. However, the specific ...

The Cortical Neurophysiological Signature of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Analysis of Cortical Neurophysiological Characteristics of ALS and Its Potential as a Biomarker Background Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects adults, characterized by a gradual loss of the integrity of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral motor system. Although clinical and genetic studies have reveale...
